I smiled, — for what had I to fear?

The little cares, fears, tears, timid misgivings, sleepless fancies of I don't know how many days and nights, were forgotten under one moment's influence of that familiar, irresistible smile.

she smiled at him, and at her own fears.

But he no longer feared the fear! It was not something to run from, that fear, but something to fight.

My fear fell from me as if it had been a vaporous garment which dissolved in the warmth.

The world loved man when he smiled. The world became afraid of him when he laughed.

when all fears of a possible worse thing are passed, there is in some sense peace and even glory.

Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes.

Sometimes fear could be forgotten, but never for long.

The minute we look, we cease being afraid.

The kindness in his smile seemed infinite.

He smiled like a sun lamp.

A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it.

Beth ceased to fear him from that moment, and sat there talking to him as cozily as if she had known him all her life, for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
